Perfect for young, growing herbivores and a great treat for adults. Alfalfa Hay has the highest protein, digestible energy and calcium than any other forage. In addition, it has the fiber content needed for normal digestive functioning. Alfalfa provides the essential calcium necessary for growing bones and is a source of other important minerals including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc and selenium.

Oxbow's Alfalfa Hay should not be fed to all animals. But if used carefully, in certain situations, it can be a valuable tool in nutritional management. Due to it's succulent taste, Oxbow's Alfalfa Hay can be used as an appetite stimulant when an animal is ill or for post surgical patients. Because it is high in fiber, a small pinch can be given as a treat.

Feeding Considerations & Recommendations:Alfalfa Hay should only be offered carefully to mature rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and prairie dogs due to the higher protein and calcium content. Many vets believe that animals prone to kidney stones, bladder stones or calcium crystals in their urine should always avoid alfalfa. Alfalfa Hay can be used to help animals gain weight and will give a nice shine to their fur. Elderly animals should be fed foods they enjoy, such as alfalfa, when considering quality of life. Alfalfa Hay can be used in small amounts as an appetite stimulant for thin or convalescing animals. Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas under six months of age can be given Alfalfa Hay daily. After six months of age an animal should begin a gradual transition to 100% grass hay such as Oat Hay, Western Timothy Hay, Orchard Grass Hay or Brome Hay.

Good Hay
My two young piggies only like the Oxbow Alalfa Hay. I tried two other brands and they wouldn't eat it. Just looking at the hay I would agree with them. The other brands were very dry and brown looking, while the Oxbow was greener and seemed more tender.
They love it and the Oxbow Timothy Hay which they get a of bit of too.

Good
This hay is good for young guinea pigs. I like that it is a good size and that my guinea pig loves it. It is alittle pricey.

Great for younger pets!!!
This is great for my guinea pig because she is no more than 5 months old. The only down fall is the pieces are so small that they fall through my hay rack (a bent in half c&c cage grid).

My baby piggies love it!
I just adopted two baby guinea pigs and they love this hay! They eat it right up. Since they are 4 weeks old they need to eat alfalfa and it also helps to trim their teeth. They love it. I will keep on purchasing this product. :)
